Almost ashamed to admit this one but I will for the sake of someone else faced with a similar situation: had a real DUH! moment last night thinking about this issue: my clutch isn't slipping, I simply had not taken up the drivetrain lash! DUH!! So while my wife was applying the rear brake mightily, the engine turned a little bit taking up the lash! Confirmed that this was the case this morning. Will try it again after I get a proper extension for the busted nut remover. The saga continues.

@Shreddr: don't know how you got the torx in as there is less than 2" of clearance between the airbox and back of the housing. Was your bike disassembled at the time?
